FUNGI ON MOSSES 
ELIZABETH G. BRITTON. 
Cladosporium epibryum Cooke & Massee was referred to in the 
Bryologist f or May 1911 and originally described without indication of 
hosts. As they were all sent to Dr. Massee, I wrote to inquire about 
them and received the following list of mosses as host species : 
1. Ulota phyllantha Brid. — Jaquina Bay, Ore. — T. Howell. 
2. Grimmia ovata W. & M. — Canada. — J. Macoun, No. 84. 
3. Grimmia Doniana Sm. — Spokane Falls, Wash. — ^J. B. Leiberg, 
No. no. 
Encalypta rhabdocarpa Schwgr. — Lake Pend d’ Oreille, Ida. — J. B. 
Leiberg, 153 pp. 
5. Bartramia pomiformis Hedw. — Lake Pend d’Oreille. — J. B. 
Leiberg, 153 pp. 
6. Hypnum megaptilum Sull. — Lake Pend d’ Oreille. — J. B. 
Leiberg. 
7. Fabronia andina Mitt. — Ingenio del Oro, Bolivia. — H. H. Rusby. 
8. Bartramia Potosica Mont.— Sorata, Bolivia. — H. H. Rusby. 
These types are at Kew and duplicates of them exist at the New 
York Botanical Gardens. The fungus occurs as black septate fila- 
ments protruding from the walls of old capsules, particularly those 
that have wintered over, usually species of genera that hold their 
capsules a long time. In the case of Ulota phyllantha, they occurred 
around the mouth of the capsule, and the teeth were so much dis- 
torted and undeveloped that it was difficult to describe the peristome, 
on these, the first record for this moss to be found fruiting.

COAST REGION OF BRITISH COLUMBIA.

Though for some years cultivating and greatly enjoying an am- 
ateur acquaintance with the moss flora of this Pacific Slope, I have 
always felt great hesitation in committing my scant knowledge to 
writing, conscious that I possess no critical acquaintance with the 
subject. 
What little has been learned of the several genera and species that 
carpet our great evergreen forests and festoon their giant boles for a 
hundred feet skyward, has come of actual contact with Nature only, 
except as assisted by friends of the Sullivant Moss Society to whom 
I am under lasting obligations for frequent and valued favors. 
The climate of British Columbia, at least of that portion of it oc- 
cupying the Western flanks of the Cascade Range of mountains and 
including the Islands of the Gulf of Georgia, is of a peculiarly mild
